DOM Object

In JavaScript, the term "document" refers to the web page that is currently loaded in the browser. It represents the entire HTML document as an object, and it provides a way to access and manipulate the elements within the page.

An "object" is a data structure that contains properties and methods. In the case of the Document Object Model (DOM), the document is represented as an object, and each element within the page is also represented as an object.

So, when we say "DOM object", we are referring to an object that represents an element within the web page, such as a paragraph or a button. We can access and manipulate these objects using JavaScript, which allows us to dynamically modify the contents of the page without having to reload it.
